Be in a Zombie Movie!!!
Zoomies, 3123 Canal St, Houston, TX, USBe an extra in a Zombie movie!!! Don't be offended if someone tells you that you look like you died last week. Artist Te-Jui (Kyle) Fu, of origami reknown, is completing his Zombie-Human love story next week. On a work night.... This is not the usual thing. Come on out on Monday night, bring a friend, bring a pet (this is a dog park ), Leave whenever you want!!! Kyle says he will get the crowd scenes first.
In Edo as the sun sets behind downtown, the mayor faces an angry crowd, half zombie voters, half normal just-got-off-work voters... what next?
Normal just-got-off-work voters: Come as you are, no make-up.
Zombies: Bring old clothes that you are ready to destroy, any Halloween make-up from last year, worn-out hiking boots. For makeup come earlier; 5:30pm for lots of make-up.
It will be fun. We will all be in the Houston Film Festival!
The weather is warming up, loose light-colored clothing is recommended for this hike.
Wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water. The heat in Texas is always a concern so let someone know if you are having a hard time. For more information about hiking check out this very useful hiking website: https://www.hatsandmore.org/

Houston native and Kinder HSPVA graduate, saxophonist Jason Hainsworth pays tribute to the Texas Tenors, raw, hard–blowing saxophonists from the Lone Star state who pioneered a robust fusion of swing, bebop, R&B and blues. “As is evident from this fine recording, his heart belongs to Houston,” says DownBeat.New Jazz Underground, is a New York-based trio of saxophonist Abdias Armenteros, bassist Sebastian Rios and drummer TJ Reddick. They are known for their captivating performances and viral videos showcasing their chemistry, musicality, and raw ambition, merging traditional jazz sensibilities with the modern influence of swing, hip-hop, house/afro-beats, and Afro-Cuban music. DownBeat praises their “foundation of solid groove, enabled by a remarkable synergy between the players.”
